Dubinskaya’s autobiographical novel of life in the Russian army marked the first major work published by a female World War I soldier in the Soviet Union. Often compared to \u003ci\u003eAll Quiet on the Western Front\u003c\/i\u003e, Dubinskaya’s stark and unsparing story presents a rare look at women in combat and one of the few works of fiction set on the eastern front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Zinaida, a Russian schoolgirl, runs away from home to join the army. Sent to the front, she endures the horrors of trench warfare and the hardships of military life. Undercurrents of revolutionary thinking filter into the ranks as morale begins to crumble. Zinaida must come to grips with the havoc unleashed by the czar’s overthrow and the new socialist government’s attempts to impose revolutionary reforms on the army. Destabilization and desertion follow, and her regiment joins the chaotic mass retreat of the Russian army in the summer of 1917.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In addition to Dubinskaya’s original novel, this edition includes selections from her 1936 autobiographical work, \u003ci\u003eMachine Gunner\u003c\/i\u003e, which she rewrote to satisfy Stalinist censors.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 14\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Potomac Books","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670827397400,"sku":"9781640121966","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/in-the-trenches-a-russian-woman-soldiers-story-of-world-war-i-paperback-softback-9781640121966","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
